Grapes:

• 69% Cabernet Sauvignon
• 22% Merlot
•  4% Cabernet Franc
•  5% Verdot

Location: Situated on the commune of Saint Estéphe.

 Surface: 15 Ha

 Soil: deep gravel and clayey limestone.

 Vinification:

 The grapes are harvested by hand.

The grapes are carefully sorted and stalked before being pressed gently to extract the juice.

The juice is fermented for a period of three weeks in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats at a temperature of 30°C.

The wine then spends 12 months in vats before being transferred into oak barrels, one-third of which are renewed each year where it develops for approximately 20 months.

After fining the wine is bottled at the château and stored in the cellars.

Tasting:  Attractive fruit on the nose of this wine, showing a style nicely typical of the appellation, with gravelly but accessible fruit. It has a nice character, nice structure, and is well balanced.

 Serving suggestions: This wine is excellent with both red and white slices of meat, game, and cheese.

We suggest that the wine be drunk at an ambient temperature of 16° to 18° C after being opened for an hour or so
